Playing on the Playa de Salinas | Top Surf Spots, Ep. 5



Sit back and get the inside scoop on one of northern Spain's most popular summertime surf spots, Salinas, in the region of Asturias.

Local living legend, Ignacio "Chuk" Solis, gives you the lowdown on his local surf break and entertains us with his retro inspired longboard surfing groove steps, maybe the best part of this surf video.

Salinas is situated JUST SO that it picks up any scrap of surf swell that the Atlantic has to offer, making it a great summer option when the rest of the surf in France or Portugal might be flat. LET'S GO!

Compassing | a Film by Cyrus Sutton x Reef



No one knows Just Passing Through like Cyrus Sutton. And in the latest chapter of Cy's adventures, he's customized his van for experiencing life on the road. Through cutting, sanding, welding, and staining, he's transformed his old van into a unique camper that's been helping him traverse the Western side of North America to seek out good waves and good people. Reef is proud to partner with Cy on his new project, "Compassing," a film chronicling his recent van travels.

Hand Made | Almond Surfboards


Hand Made - Almond Surfboards from Monster Children on Vimeo.
Hand Made. The department where we rub it in the face of all the people who were either born without hands or lost them in an accident. Imagine, if you will, poor Billy No-hands turning the pages of this magazine with his feet or headband wand thingy. He comes to this page. ‘Yeah, knock yourselves out,’ he grumbles. ‘Knock yourselves out, you hand-having, tangible-world-manipulating, prawn cracker bitch-men bastards.’ Wow, is he angry. Dave Allee ain’t angry though! He’s got hands! And he does stuff with them all the time. Yay!

Tunnels | Sea Movies


Tunnels - Sea Movies from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.
Over time, some filmmakers develop a relationship with one of their subjects that seems to be a match made in heaven. For filmmaker Matt Kleiner, that special connection lies with Asher Pacey. These two have combined to put together some cinematic surfing magic that are not to be missed.

In this episode of Sea Movies supported by Reef, Matt and Asher are at it again behind Matt's beautiful composition of some spinning tubes.

THROUGH THE LENS with Rob Machado | Taka's Treehouse


THROUGH THE LENS with Rob Machado - Taka's Treehouse from Through The Lens on Vimeo.
Documenting the talents of amazing people who happen to surf.

Iconic surfer Rob Machado has traveled the world for more than half his life. And during that time, he’s crossed paths with countless individuals who share a love for surfing and a passion for the arts. In his new series called Through The Lens, we meet these individuals and follow Rob as he re-connects with the people who've inspired him along the way.

In this episode, Rob has the unique opportunity to spend a week working along side legendary tree house builder Takashi Kobayashi during the final stages of what Takashi describes as “his most important tree house” to date. By working along side Takashi Rob begins to understand the power this beautiful, symbolic tree house can bring to the Tsunami stricken Sendai region of Japan. This great gift Takashi is offering to the surviving children of this region is one small step in bringing some joy, happiness, and light to a part of Japan heavily impacted by the Tsunami disaster.

Gato Heroi Japan tour 2013


Gato Heroi Japan tour 2013 from Stay Culo on Vimeo.
Casual cats Robin G Kegel (founder of Gato Heroi) and Andy Findlay thrive on passion & spontaneity. Like jazz improvisation where melodies are spontaneously created, the "Dynamic Endevours Japan tour" puts this improvisation technique into practice.

These cats use all means of transport from foot, bullet train to a fishing boat to track down some fast right peelers on a little island of the coast of Japan.

Killer Loop introduces Daniel Månsson


Killer Loop introduces Daniel Månsson from Killer Loop on Vimeo.
There is a voice that drags each and every one of us to the place where we belong.
Feeling at home is not a mere matter of time, it's where your soul is in peace, where you feel connected to your inner voice and to the people and the environment around you.
If you feel you don't belong where you are, set off and wander, until you find a place where you can stare the eternity.

Your friends at Killer Loop.

Tribal Surf

Hi there,

I wanted to let you know about the revamped Tribal Surf online
community which is now very social networking oriented -
http://www.tribalsurf.net/.  I want to emphasize that Tribal Surf,
unlike these other "surfing social networks" is not part of some
bigger conglomeration - there is no Tribal Soccer or Tribal Knitting.

Tribal Surf was started by a handful of us So Cal surfers just wanting
a more high tech way for us to know where everyone was paddling out.
It picked up traction so we expanded it to all of California.  Leaving
the traditional forum format behind for a social networking core, the
new Tribal Surf is now open to the world and to all forms of surf
riders.

We'd certainly be stoked if you were willing to spread the word
through your site but all we can really ask is for you, as a surfer
like all of us, to simply check it out.

Stay stoked,

Rob
